About Sarasota Suncoast Academy
Sarasota Suncoast Academy is a K-8 public charter school in Sarasota, Florida. Since 2004, SSA has provided an education built on the Responsive Classroom approach to teaching and learning, and we are proud to be an A-rated school.
Our goal is to create a school environment where students are challenged academically, supported socially and emotionally, and encouraged to become confident, respectful learners.
Proud to Be an A School
Sarasota Suncoast Academy is proud to be an A-rated school. We believe strong academics and strong social-emotional skills work together to help students succeed in school and beyond.
Responsive Classroom
The Responsive Classroom approach is a way of teaching that creates a safe, challenging, and joyful classroom and school climate for all children.
Teachers using this approach recognize that a child’s academic, social, emotional, and physical needs all matter. The classroom environment is designed to respond to those needs so students are able to do their best.
Students develop reading, writing, and math skills while also learning how to take turns, listen respectfully, collaborate with others, and work effectively as part of a group.
What We Believe
We believe the combination of social-emotional and academic skills helps develop students who can find success in any environment.

The mission of Suncoast Academy is to integrate excellence in education, highly motivated and qualified teachers, deeply concerned and involved parents and a supportive community; which will provide students a superior learning opportunity while developing and reinforcing a strong value system and a healthy work ethic that affords children the tools needed to succeed and contribute in the 21st century.
Our Philosophy
Research shows that when families of all backgrounds are engaged in their children’s learning, their children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and pursue higher education. Suncoast Academy’s goal is for the school, our families and the community to partner together for a better environment for education. This supportive partnership provides a benefit to the students of Suncoast Academy.
